PREFACE. 


Ill  this  iTvision  of  the  Charter  and  Ordinances  of  the  City 
of  'r;u'(tiii;i,  ^vill  be  found  a  record  of  every  ordinance  passed 
])}■  Old  Tacoiiia,  Now  Tacoiiia  and  Tacoma  up  to  and  including 
( )i'(liiiaiR'e  No.  2478. 

When  the  letters  0.  T.  or  N.  T.  occur  they  mean  either  Old 
Tacoma  or  New  Tacoma. 

I  liave  undertaken,  first,  to  make  the  revision  an  absolutely 
true  and  correct  record  of  the  Ordinances  of  the  City  up  to  and 
ineludin":  Ordinance  No.  2478;  second,  to  so  arrange  and  index 
thcni  as  to  render  it  a  very  easy  matter  to  find  any  desired  Ordi- 
nance or  part  of  Ordinance. 

In  the  matter  of  arrangement  I  have  departed  somewhat 
from  the  ordinary  method  and  believe  it  will  be  found  more 
than  oi'diuarily  convenient  for  reference.

ery of  its  books  and  papers,  which  demand  was,  on  the  26th  day 
of  December,  denied,  pending  a  decision  by  the  Supreme  Court 
on  the  appeal  which  had  been  taken  in  che  Mullen-Doherty  case. 


32  CORPORATE  HISTORY. 

The  case  was  argued  on  the  12th  day  of  October,  and  a  de- 
cision rendered  on  the  1st  day  of  February,  1897,  reversing  the 
decision  of  Judge  Pritchard  and  declaring  the  Charter  Amend- 
ments legally  adopted.  On  the  4th  day  of  February,  the  Com- 
mission resumed  its  proceedings.  The  decision  was  filed  with 
the  County  Clerk  on  the  13th  day  of  March,  1897. 

On  the  13th  day  of  February,  formal  charges  were  present- 
ed to  the  City  Council  by  W.  C.  Sharpstein,  Secretary  of  the 
Civil  Service  League,  against  the  three  members  of  the  Civil  Ser- 
vice Commission,  charging  incompetency,  neglect  of  duty,  and 
malfeasance  in  office ;  and  the  first  day  of  March,  1897,  set  for 
hearing  the  same.  On  the  10th  day  of  March,  after  a  full  and 
fair  hearing,  the  charges  against  Govnor  Teats,  as  to  incompe- 
tency and  neglect  of  duty,  were  sustained  by  a  vote  of  13  yeas 
and  3  nays,  and  against  S.  F.  Sahm  and  Richard  Bond  by  12 
yeas  and  4  nays;  and  the  vote  on  the  question  of  removal  from 
office  stood  10  yeas  and  6  nays. 

On  the  13th  of  March,  Ed.  S.  Orr,  Maj^or,  appointed  George 
H.  Walker,  George  Brewitt  and  W.  C.  Sharpstein  as  members  of 
the  Civil  Service  Conmiission,  under  an  opinion  by  J.  A.  Shackle- 
ford,  City  Attorney,  to  the  effect  that  the  old  members  of  the 
Board  had  been  removed  from  office  by  the  action  of  the  City 
Council  on  the  10th  instant,  and  that  a  two-thirds  vote  was  not 
required  for  such  removal. 

On  the  23rd  of  March,  and  before  the  new  Board  organized 
the  Superior  Court  rendered  an  opinion  to  the  effect  that  a  two- 
thirds  vote  of  the  City  Council  was  required  to  remove  any  of- 
ficial from  office,  and  restored  to  office  the  old  members  of  the 
Board.  April  26,  Frank  H.  Graham  Avas  appointed  to  succeed 
Richard  Bond,  whose  term  had  expired,  and  the  Board  organ- 
ized with  S.  F.  Sahm  President. 

On  July  15,  1897,  the  Mayor,  (A.  V.  Fawcett),  submitted 
to  the  City  Council  certain  affidavits  charging  misconduct  on 
the  part  of  Govnor  Teats,  Commissioner,  and  I.  J.  Tomlinson, 
Secretary;  which  were  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Law  and 
Conduct  of  City  Officials,  Avhich  committee,  on  July  22,  reported 
probable  cause  for  believing  the  charges  true,  and  recommended 
that  the  proper  officers  report  formal  charges.  July  29,  formal 
charges  were  presented  to  the  Council  by  the  Mayor  against 
Govnor  Teats,  charging  him  Avith  "gross  incompetency,  neglect 
of  duty  and  prostitution  of  a  public  trust  for  his  private  gain," 
and  the  16th  day  of  August  was  fixed  as  the  time  for  hearing 
the  same.  After  a  full  and  fair  hearing,  and  on  September  1, 
the  charges  were  sustained,  and  Govnor  Teats  removed  from  of- 


CORPOEATE  HISTORY.  33 

fioe  as  Civil  Service  Comissioner  by  the  unanimous  vote  of  the 
City  Council. 

The  last  meeting  of  the  Board  as  then  organized,  was  held 
on  the  20th  day  of  July,  1897,  and  on  August  12,  the  Mayor  arbi- 
trarily removed  Commissioners  Salun  and  Teats,  and  Secretary 
Tomlinson,  from  office  and  took  possession  of  the  office,  books 
and  papers ;  shortly  after  which  time  he  appointed  Otis  Sprague 
and  M.  P.  Bulger  to  fill  the  vacancies  on  the  Board  occasioned 
by  the  removal  of  Sahm  and  Teats. 

On  the  3rd  of  September  the  new  Board  organized  and  elec- 
ted Otis  Sprague  President.  Its  first  business  was  to  suspend 
I.  J.  Tomlinson,  Secretaiy,  pending  an  investigation  of  charges 
preferred  against  him.  On  the  following  day,  Tomlinson  was 
permitted  to  resign  his  position  as  Secretary,  and  ]\I.  P.  Bulger 
was  appointed  to  fill  the  vacancy. 

From  this  time  on  to  the  end,  the  Board,  apparently  in  good 
faith,  endeavored  to  carry  out  the  purposes  for  which  it  had  been 
appointed ;  but  the  people  of  the  City  of  Taeoma  had  had  enough 
of  so-called  Civil  Service  Eeform,  and  preferred  the  old  method 
of  filling  office.  They  believed  that  under  its  best  application, 
more  incompetents  would  be  appointed  to  place  than  under  the 
old  method  of  partisan  appointment;  and  that  with  a  corrupt 
Board,  it  became  the  most  dangerous  political  organization  which 
could  be  devised: 

Februarv  26,  1898,  the  City  Council  passed  Ordinance  No. 
1272,  submitting  to  the  qualified  electors,  at  the  next  general  elec- 
tion, an  amendment  to  the  City  Charter,  repealing  Amendment 
No.  19,  relating  to  Civil  Service.  On  the  5th  day  of  April,  fol- 
lowing, the  election  was  held,  and  notwithstanding  a  vigorous 
campaign  by  the  Civil  Service  League,  the  amendment  was  adopt- 
ed by  the  decisive  vote  of  2634  for,  and  1132  against  it;  and 
the  City  was  freed  from  what  had  proven  itself  to  be  the  most 
corrupt  and  corrupting  influence  in  the  politics  of  the  City  of 
Taeoma.

€ITY  surveyor's  SUPPLEMENTxyL,  REPORT  CONCERNING  MONUMENTS 

OR  SURVEYS. 

Tacoma,  Jan.  4,  1884. 

The  stone  monuments  referred  to  in  my  last  report  consist 
of  the  common  granite  boulder,  and  contain  about  one  cubic 
foot  of  matter.  The  monuments  are  buried  in  the  ground  with 
from  six  to  eighteen  inches  of  soil  above  them.  The  cross  (X) 
that  is  cut  in  the  monuments  is  placed  uppermost,  and  the  point 
of  intersection  of  the  lines  forming  the  cross,  marks  the  exact 
points  intended  to  be  perpetuated  by  the  monuments.  ^Fonu- 
ments  within  the  original  town  site  of  New  Tacoma,  and  those 
marking  government  corners  coincide  with  and  are  for  the  pur- 
pose of  perpetuating  original  surveys.  All  other  monuments  are 
for  the  purpose  of  perpetuating  careful  surveys  made  by  me. 
Field  notes  and  maps  concerning  the  monuments  and  surveys 
referred  to  in  my  report  are  filed  and  recorded  in  the  office  of 
the  Auditor  of  Pierce  County,  AV.  T.
